Podcast recommendations that'll make us rethink what we call waste.
In this week's issue of Podcast the Newsletter, Lauren Purcell recommends The Whole Night Was for Nothing from Ear Hustle.
She writes, In 1995, Kenyon Pitts was involved in a botched robbery kidnapping that resulted in the death of a woman named Sonia's seven-month-old daughter, Jaina.
Kenyon was convicted and sent to prison, but over the years, Sonia came to forgive him and eventually advocated for his release.
Their relationship when Kenyon was incarcerated was pretty straightforward, and Sonia thought they were friends.
But when Kenyon was released, things got complicated, and ear hustle has dug into the messiness.
